COMPLETE DONKEY: This is a file pic of a donkey – it wasn't harmed by ISIS

The twisted jihadis attacked donkeys in its Iraqi capital Mosul after someone plastered them with photographs of the so-called “caliph”.

Donkeys are considered a low, dirty animal in many Arab countries and the paranoid fighters took it as an insult to their leader.

The fighters – who are facing annihilation as the Iraqi army surrounds the city – reportedly chased the poor beasts through the streets and killed them.

Iraqi news website al-Sumaria News said: “Unidentified persons put the photos of the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on donkeys in central Mosul – and this pushed the ISIS members to pursue the donkeys to kill them.

“ISIS mobilised its fighters in the city and raided a house in order to search for the people who hung Baghdadi’s pictures on the donkeys.”
